Principles of Operation Accu1Direct All-Fiber Machines
Accu1Direct's line of All-Fiber machines move material to specified areas by:
1) Conditioning materials via agitator/auger shafts so that it can be 2) Moved by pressurized air through hoses to the desired spaces.
· Fiber materials are loaded into the machine hopper. · The agitator arms break up the materials while the auger moves the
material to the air lock opening. · In the airlock, rotating vanes carry conditioned material to the air stream at
the bottom of the airlock. · As the material passes by the air stream it is pushed through the airlock
exhaust tube and into the attached hose. · Moisture is added to the material as it exits the spray nozzle at the hose
end.

Maintenance
All Accu1Direct equipment is designed to give maximum service with minimum maintenance. The following table is a suggested guide to help you maintain your machine properly. Correct equipment care, i.e. KEEPING THE MACHINE OUT OF THE WEATHER, AND KEEPING FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE HOPPER, will be rewarded with many years of top performance.
NOTE: DO NOT LUBRICATE CHAIN. Chain is permanently lubricated at the factory. Lubricating chain will cause it to wear faster because chain will collect dust and grit. IN FIELD: Although all maintenance should be done on a regular basis at your shop rather than the field, occasional field adjustment may be required. The following list of tools will allow field personnel to perform any necessary equipment adjustments. USEFUL TOOLS: Screwdriver Volt-Ohm Meter and Continuity Checker Wrenches: Allen set (English), 8" Adjustable

Warnings
1) Do not attempt to service machine while running. 2) Doors and guards must be in place at all times during operation. 3) Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry while using this machine. 4) Keep hands and arms out of the hopper and away from moving parts. 5) Do not leave the machine unattended while running. 6) Keep hands and face away from hose end while machine is operating. 7) Only trained personnel who have read this manual should be authorized to operate this machine. 8) Do not use objects to push material in the hopper. 9) Keep cutting tools (utility knives for example) away from hopper opening to avoid having these items fall into the hopper and damaging the machine.

Operating Instructions
1) Starting the Model 9700:
- Plug the Model 9700 into an appropriate power source via the recessed
power receptacle on the rear of the unit with the mating plug provided.
- Connect remote to the Model 9700 via the 100' remote cord provided.
More remote cord can be added as required.
- Make sure the remote switch is in the Off position. - Move Boost switch to the Line position. If volt meter reads less than normal
voltage, move the Boost switch to the ON position.
- Press the green On button. The Remote and Blower Only switches are now
operational.
- For "Blower Only" operation set Remote to Off and Blower Only switch
located on the electrical panel to On. The blowers should come on, but the agitators won't spin.
- To feed material, turn blower to Off and remote switch to On. Both the
blowers and agitators should now be on. Note that the blowers will stay on if the Blowers Only switch is left in the On position regardless of the remote setting. 2) Stopping the Model 9700:
- Press the red Stop button. The Model 9700 will not come on again until the
green On button is pressed again.

Machine Adjustments
Blowers:
- Use Blower Speed dial located on electrical panel. Lower numbers
represent lower speed; higher numbers represent higher speed. Material:
- To increase material flow, turn the material feed screw located at the rear
of the machine clockwise with the hand crank provided. To decrease flow, turn the screw counter clockwise. Agitator / Rotor Speed:
- Access the motor positioning screw through the slot on the side of the
machine beneath the Control Panel using the ratcheting wrench provided. Speed is increased as belt tension is lowered. Speed decreases as belt tension is raised. Both agitator and airlock rotor speed are adjusted proportionally in this manner.

Airlock Seal Replacement Instructions
Regular maintenance on your Accu1Direct Model 9700 will extend the life of the equipment and provide better production. Replace all of your airlock seals as soon as a decrease in production occurs. Airlock seal life may vary dramatically because of such factors as type and quality of material used (the more abrasive the material, the shorter the seal life) and damaging objects like knives, hammers, or nails. To replace seals:
1. Remove airlock drive chain. 2. Remove sprocket on airlock. 3. Loosen set screws on both airlock bearings. 4. Remove bearings on front and back airlock plates. 5. Remove front airlock plate (outlet tube plate). 6. Remove rotor. 7. Remove old seals. 8. Clean rotor and check for damage. 9. Slide felt and foam rings into place as shown below. 10. Put new seals into place with the thinner ply side against the plate that is welded
to the rotor; tighten the bolts only slightly. 11. Square up edges and press rubber firmly against felt and foam rings; tighten
bolts (bolts are too tight if rubber squeezes out between plates). 12. Check airlock housing for any damage before re-assembly. 13. Reassemble by reversing process. 14. Be sure to promptly replace worn agitator paddles, because worn paddles will
also reduce machine production.
